Deepwater was the town her family lived in the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 Censuses. Perhaps it is not a town anymore. Please just have Bates County as her birth place.

Hi,
No you don't need to be a member of the library. I just Googled Macon Library, went to their site, and at the top of their home page is an email address to the library. I just emailed them and asked about finding an obit for me and this lady there emailed back and told me they had an obit for the Myers I was looking for and she told me about the cemetery index. She said they charge ten cents per page for copies. Isn't that outrageous?! They want ten whole cents per page to get copies from them. Well I guess I can afford a couple of dimes. :-] I sent them a donation to the library when I sent in my money to cover their cost of copies, and the copies were way less than a dollar.
You can just email them and ask anything you want to ask about and they will let you know.

The message was just sitting there and would not send. I did not hit send again. I backed out and restated trying to get the message to send and what does the dumb thing do, it sends three times. Groan! Go figure?

You're welcome.
I was working on a branch off of my tree, the Myers, a few years ago, who lived in Macon Co. In my research I contacted the Macon Library for help and someone there found this little 2 page index for Tozier Cemetery and mailed it to me. I was surprised to find that nobody had ever added that little tiny, way out in the bungies, cemetery to Find A Grave so I did that. I wanted to add my Myers in that cemetery to Find A Grave and did and then went ahead and added everyone else from the index in case anyone related might be looking for them, since there were so few people in that little cemetery. Apparently it is on private property on someone's farm. The library put a library # on this little index. They added a note to me that it has no title page and no copyright, and no date of when made. Someone from the Macon Co Hist Soc probably took what names and dates off of gravestones that they could find there, that they made the index from. The library # they gave it is= GEN 929.5 DUN. All they put for location is that it is 5 miles north of Atlanta, Macon Co. The person who made it long ago put that it was on the Harold McDuffee farm. This Harold may have died a long time ago and the farm may belong to someone else now?
An obit could answer some questions and raise other questions though. Obits are not always very accurate. Some are pretty good and others have some pretty bad mistakes in them. Some that are pretty poorly done have been a huge help I have found since they had a clue in them that led me to what I was looking for that I never would have found otherwise.
If you want to look for the obits that is fine. If you find something that proves details one way or the other that would be good and pages could be corrected. Are you related to these White's? I noticed you added several White's to Find A Grave.

Hi,
I got your message about Sarah Wright White. I added the death date and her maiden name.
The Macon Library sent me a cemetery index that the Macon Co. Hist. Soc. did. It does not say when it was done. That cemetery index lists Sarah's date of birth as 1864, not 1854. I don't see any Sarah White's in MO. born either date. The closest thing I see in the 1880 census is a D. M. White born 1856 with a wife Sarah born 1861. They had just their first child with them at that time, a daughter listed as E.V. White, one year old. D.M. White's mother and two of his sisters were also living with them. They were living in Chariton Co. which is right next to Macon Co. I suspect that neither 1854, or, 1864 are the right date of birth for Sarah?? Maybe though? There are a lot of mistakes in the censuses. The Tozier cemetery index I have gives no date of death for Sarah.
This Tozier Cemetery index says that there is an iron fence around the White family gravestones and each stone has multiple names on it, all with the last name of White.
I wonder how to get copies of this obit source= Phyllis E. Mears Macon Co., MO Obituaries, you mentioned? Maybe if I call the Macon Co., Library they can send me obit copies from it that would help.
It would be nice to have more to prove things for sure one way or the other.
Thanks,
Nathan in Oregon | | | | [View all messages...] |
